Canine myotherapy is a manual therapy that utilises techniques such as deep tissue massage, targeted stretching, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release to alleviate musculoskeletal dysfunction, reduce pain, and enhance range of motion in dogs.

Dogs engage in constant and vigorous movement throughout their day—from simple actions like standing and sitting to high-speed maneuvers such as jumping. This continuous activity puts significant strain on their bodies, potentially resulting in issues like reduced mobility, muscle tension, compensatory injuries (overuses certain muscles or body parts to make up for weakness, pain, or limited mobility in another area), both acute and chronic pain, diminished sensory function in their limbs, and elevated levels of stress, frustration, and anxiety.

· Enhanced Tissue Elasticity and Muscle Tone: Massage will help build stronger muscles while also mainlining flexibility, this may lower the chances for further injury and will help the perform at their best.

· Improved Regeneration: By boosting blood circulation, massage brings more oxygen to the area while removing metabolic waste, aiding in tissue repair.

· Restored Mobility and Tension Release: It helps restore movement in specific muscle regions and reduces tension by breaking down adhesions between muscles and the skin.

· Enhanced Sensory Function: In older dogs or patients with neurological conditions, massage stimulates sensory receptors, improving sensory responses.

· Holistic Approach: Beyond addressing immediate discomfort, this therapy aims to improve the overall physical well-being of the dog, supporting better movement and quality of life.
